Not sure what this test case wanted to achieve by deleting the source device before the replace. As per the comments the objective of this test case seems to be ~~~~ btrfs device replace test on RO fs Regression test for commit: bbb651e Btrfs: don't allow the replace procedure on read only filesystems ~~~~~ Also there won't be EIO when you delete a loop device when its still mounted. as shown below. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt losetup -d /dev/loop0 echo $? 0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/tf1 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.00192936 s, 265 kB/s cd /mnt sync losetup -a /dev/loop0: [0802]:1291816 (/root/testdev/disk1) No errors in the dmesg as well. Instead of further confusing, I am deleting the delete loop device part Signed-off-by: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tests/btrfs/020 | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/btrfs/020 b/tests/btrfs/020 index 84251f3..3752dcf 100755 --- a/tests/btrfs/020 +++ b/tests/btrfs/020 @@ -76,8 +76,6 @@ loop_dev3=`_create_loop_device $fs_img3` _mkfs_dev -m raid1 -d raid1 $loop_dev1 $loop_dev2 >>$seqres.full 2>&1 _mount -o ro $loop_dev1 $loop_mnt -# Fail the second device and replace with the third -_destroy_loop_device $loop_dev2 $BTRFS_UTIL_PROG replace start -B 2 $loop_dev3 $loop_mnt >>$seqres.full 2>&1 && \ _fail "FAIL: Device replaced on RO btrfs" -- 2.0.0.153.g79dcccc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fstests" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
